Producer Rick Delaup and choreographer Dollie Rivas will hold auditions on August 4 at 2 for “Bustout Burlesque,” the long-running retro-risqué act at the House of Blues New Orleans that has been featured in the HBO television series “Treme.” Delaup and Rivas also seek performers for a new act titled “STRUT,” an all-male satiric striptease review.

As David Cuthbert described it in 2008: "This is the real deal in flashy, splashy, nostalgic appeal: a sexy variety show with stylish authenticity. Beautiful girls putting the tease back into striptease, coming on saucy and coy and then giving way to abandon, as they peel off layers of sequined, lacy, fetishistic attire to the blare of a jazz band and pounding drums. As one of the Bourbon Street barkers of old would say, 'Girls dancing out naughty deeds, dressed in nothing but skin and beads.'"

Potential performers must be between 18 and 35 years old, live in the New Orleans area and have reliable transportation. To be considered for the audition, performers must email portrait and full-body photos, along with a brief bio or resume to info@bustoutburlesque.com. Call 504-975-7425.
